WASHINGTON, Nov. "a The President
in his message will recommend the re-
movsl of the internal revenue tax on man
uiactured tobacco. The Secretary of the
Treasury will present figures to show the
extent to witch this will effect the grow

islation will open with this proposition
on the part of the tariff reformers, and ii
it is adopted the issue will be made rlghi
there, and the Speaker is quoted as talking
In 3 manner anything but conciliatory
to the Randall wing. He says, If cor
rectly quoted: ga measure can be pre-
pared which should oe satisfactory to ali
Democrats, and those who prefer Repub-
lican doctrines on that subject can put
themselves on record that way. We well
know where they stand It will be in
teresting TO see how they will justify
themselves before the party st large and
in the face of the Pre- ident and Secretary
of be Treasury, if they are to be the
means of frustrating a policy which the
administration is willing to adopt, and
for which it is willing to oe responsible.

Huntington has the money where he can
put his hand on it Strong corporations
not hitherto factors in the railroad world
of Texas, are pushing their lines in this
direction, and still other roads which
few years ego did nothing but local
business have reached the proportions OF
trunk lines and sre worthy foemen Of the
steel of the giants. In Texas, the Fort

and Arkansas Pass will cut no small figure
in the coming twelve months. Texas
will see what Kansas and Colorado
have seen in the last three years she
will zee every city of 1000 Inhabitants
the objective point of one or all Of the
three great systems mentioned. The
state will be gridironed with roads, emo
especially will this be true Of that i'm
mense undeveloped country lying north
west of Fort Worth, between the Fort
Worth and Denver and the Texas and
Pacific, and to the southwest, between
the Texas and Pacific and the Missouri
Pacific and Santa Fe. Heretofore the
lines from the east have reached Fort
Worth from the north and east, but the
time has come when Chicseo lines will
come in from the west and build to this
city for connections. With the prosperity
of the west, and with its settlement will
Fort Worth grow to be what her archi-
tects intended she should be. But few
men in Texas can realize to-day Whet
this state will be before 1890 comes. The |
men who have the greatest interest il |
Fort Worth must keep their heads cool
that their minds may be active-that the |
msnv opportunities offered may he seiz d. |
"Texas" will be the slogan in 1888, and |

UPON her golden era. Fort Worth is
master of the situation, and in the gen.
eral prosperity she will, owing to her
past good works and generous sections, |
prosper most.

To the Editor of the Gazette.
see in your valuable paper PROPOSE
ton by the S.. Louis, Arkansas and Texas
Railroad Company to build new railroad
from Sherman to Fort Worth, forming q
junction at the town Of Grapevine. Why
not make the Junction at Carrollton ana
save the expense of building another
bridge on the Elm Fork and another
heavy grade through the Trinity bottom
from CarrOllton up the Elm fats. A
cheap roadbed can be obtained and ten
miles of railroad saved to the builders.
Carrollton has all the prerequisites to
make place Of great importsnce-pIenty
Of good water, timber and foe land.
Located at the crossing of the Missouri
Pacific and the st. Louis, Arkansas
and Texas Railroad. Our water privi-
leges cannot be beaten in the state. The
proposed new railroad would divide the
distance between Pilot Point and Nc
Kinney, and pass all the way through q
rich body of land. Carrollton already
mas big trade, and large quantities Of
grain and other commodities are shipped
TO various parts Of the state and else
where, ours is a fine grain and cotton
center. A large lumber yard is antci-
pated when the st. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas is completed, our business this
fall IT quires more cars than we can get;
give US chance and all will be well.

Reports from Dover, Ark, say from

| fires which the people sre poWerless to
check. Several farm houses in that
vicinity are already burned. In the
neighborhood of OksloDs, Ark, fires have
devastated the entire surrounding coun-
try. Hundreds of cattle have persisted
in the Fl smes, and the town authorities
! have ordered all able bodied citizens on
duiy to fight the flames to save the town
rne smoke is almost sitting.
A special from Lulu, Miss, says that
the damage in that section is enormous.
Cotton fields, fences and many gin houses
are burned. The famous cypress forests
of that section are now burning, eDtaliiug

Of dollars. The smoke is SO dense and
sitting around Lulu that the people would
quickly fee, out they hear the same con-
dltion exists at all points around them.
So dense is the smoke that cotton in the
field has been turned to a Yellow caste,

thousands of sores OF magnificent forests

the chief dependence jor the winter pas

ten years before it can be
